Marilyn Monroe, 1949
When people think about Marilyn Monroe, they tend to think o her from 1955 onward even though she’d starred in a few films in the late 1940s. In that year, she’d starred in Some Like It Hot and The Seven Year Itch. Many may not have known it, but by the late 1940s, she was well on her way to superstardom.
In 1949, she was featured in Life Magazine while stretching and taking dance lessons. Her earlier photos show that she was always a beauty and there was definitely a star presence even before she walked down her first red carpet.
